Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year end June 30, 2011

KGLT-FM, created in 1968, is a forty-five year old university radio station located on the campus of Montana State University and operated by the Board of Regents of the Montana University System. KGLT-FM has one transmitter located in Logan, MT, and three translators, one each in Bozeman, MT, Helena, MT, and one in Livingston, MT. KGLT-FM is known as alternative public community free format radio. A related fund raising entity, Friends of KGLT (“Friends”) is a not-for-profit Montana corporation that provides financial support to KGLT-FM. These statements include the activities of Friends. KGLT 91.1FM is a grass roots, free format all music, non-commercial, educational, & community radio station on the Montana State University campus, in Bozeman Montana. KGLT is non- political, plays diverse music, from jazz, rock, bluegrass to classical and has 80 to 100 volunteer announcers trained three times a year in KGLT apprentice classes. KGLT writes and produces 2,000 public service announcements per year, The station is supported financially by ASMSU, Federal grants, Foundations, Friends of KGLT, area businesses, and listeners.

Financial Reporting Standards

KGLT-FM follows GASB standards for reporting. The annual financial report consists of three basic financial statements: 1. the Statements of Net Assets; 2. the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets; 3. the Statements of Cash Flows.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis is required as part of the KGLT-FM external audit. The following discussion will address financial issues with comparisons between 2010 and 2011, with emphasis on the latter year. Issues will be discussed that have impacted differences, successes, and room for growth.

Financial Highlights for FY 2011

KGLT-FM’s 44th Annual Fund Drive 2011 raised $126,122 in pledges with $118,766 collected by the end of FY11 vs. $113,977 in pledges in FY10 with $102,180 collected by that year end -- an increase in fiscal year to year totals received (revenue) of 14%. KGLT Fund Drive celebrated its greatest Fund Drive success in its history in 2011, proof of the important connection between community radio and community, KGLT and the students and employees of Montana State University. 175 first time pledgers donated with impetus from a matching $15,000 grant for new donors from the Mericos Foundation. Over 900 incentive items were collected in FY11 as compared to approximately 849 in FY10. Underwriting increased to $88,490 in FY11 from $84,038 in FY10, an increase of 5%. Underwriters increased by number and there was less attrition, showing signs of a minor upswing in local businesses and consumer confidence in purchasing.

Use of Financial Statements

A discussion of the statements follows:

 The statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and represent a consolidation of all indexes representing CPB grants managed through the Montana State University Office of Sponsored Programs and the Associated Students of Montana State University, of which KGLT- FM is one of 22 committees, as well as Friends financial information. All indexes are internally managed through the Banner System of Montana State University.  Assets and liabilities are measured at current value and capital assets at cost less depreciation.  Depreciation of capital assets is treated as an operating expense.  Assets and liabilities are treated as current (due within one year), or as noncurrent (due in more than one year) and are presented in the Statements of Net Assets.  Revenues and expenses are classified as operating or non-operating. “Operating” is defined as the result of transactions involving exchanges of goods or services for payment, while “Non- operating” is the result of transactions not involving exchanges of goods or services for payment.

Statements of Net Assets

The following is a summary of the Statements of Net Assets without Friends information:

As of June 30, 2011 2010 ASSETS Total current assets$ 114,597 $ 103,589 Capital assets, net 45,173 43,831

Total assets$ 159,770 $ 147,420

LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Total current liabilities$ 89,621 $ 80,114 Total noncurrent liabilties 57,446 61,128 Total liabilities 147,067 141,242

Unrestricted net assets (17,470) (22,653) Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 30,173 28,831 Total net assets 12,703 6,178

Total liabilities and net assets$ 159,770 $ 147,420

The following events or developments occurred during FY11 and had a significant impact on the statement of net assets:  Liabilities increased overall in the current year because of other post-employment benefits and accrued compensated absences.  Net assets increased in FY11 due to net income in the current year compared to net loss in the prior year. Without purchases of capital equipment the amortization of capital assets will continue to reduce the total invested capital assets net of related debt.

Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets are the result of KGLT-FM and Friends operational activities for each fiscal year. Revenues and expenses are categorized as either operating or non-operating. Following accrual accounting methods, current year’s revenues and expenses are recognized when they were earned or incurred, regardless of when cash was received or paid.

The following provides a summary of the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets without Friends information:

For the years ended June 30, 2011 2010

Operating revenues$ 468,050 $ 479,541 Operating expenses 461,525 484,984 Operating income (loss)/net increase (decrease) in net assets 6,525 (5,443) Net assets, beginning of year 6,178 11,621

Net assets, end of year$ 12,703 $ 6,178

Comments about specific revenue and expense items for FY11 are:

 Total operating revenues decreased by $11,491 or 2% because the CPB RLAIF was not awarded until FY12 representing a decrease of almost $30,000. Additionally, the station required $26,000 less in support from ASMSU due to salary savings, as a result of the retirement of one employee. Offsetting these decreases were increased indirect support of $11,312 due to an adjusted in-kind provision of rent based on increased square footage and an increase in other revenues.

 Operating expenses decreased by 5%. Salaries & wages decreased by approximately 8% along with contract services for installation of a new transmitter.

Beginning in fiscal year 2010, compensation expenses were allocated to KGLT-FM’s functional areas based on a review of how staff spent their time.

Statements of Cash Flows

The Statements of Cash Flows describes KGLT-FM’s sources and uses of cash during the fiscal year. This statement helps assess KGLT-FM’s ability to meet commitments as they become due, their ability to generate future cash flows, and their need for external financing. GASB requires the use of the “Direct Method” for presenting results of cash flows, which focuses on transactions that provided or used cash in the fiscal year.

- 5 -

The following is a summary of the Statements of Cash Flows without Friends information:

For the years ended June 30, 2011 2010 Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities$ 3,523 $ 14,473 Capital financing activities - (15,000) Net increase in cash 3,523 (527) Cash, beginning of year 75,916 76,443

Cash, end of year$ 79,439 $ 75,916

Specific events or cash transactions that had significant influence on the increase in cash:

 Cash from operating activities decreased by $20,070 due to decreased income.

Discussion of Significant Pending Economic and Financial Issues

 New translator frequency The new translator signal, 97.1 increased support in Bozeman, KGLT’s most important underwriting and community outreach resource. KGLT showed a drop in underwriting from FY09 to FY10 but much of it was writing off uncollected receivables. The increase from FY10 to FY11 in underwriting and Fund Drive represents increase in community support. The decrease in the Associated Students of Montana State University, $8,000 lower than the requested amount by KGLT to ASMSU is due to the Chief Engineer position remaining a contracted service rather than a classified position.

 Addition of Commerce Manager on website Commerce Manager, a “PayPal” like tool on www.kglt.net has facilitated online pledging. FY10 was $6,395 and FY11 was $10,718, an increase of online giving of 40%.

 Friends of KGLT Friends of KGLT, with the addition of new board members and a renewed sense of direction, donated about $5,000 in FY11. The April Fool’s party is now an annual event; the “Get to Know You” in Helena was attended by 250 people. The goal: to add community members in each of our translator locations. A Music Swap is planned in Bozeman, to attract old friends and new listeners, hopefully an annual affair. KGLT looks to the Friends of KGLT to continue giving money to the station to support projects.

 Webcasting, Sound Exchange, subscriptions Streaming has grown to the point where the station receives more out of state Fund Drive support. Our Sound Exchange payment is not covered by CPB. Some subscriptions have fallen back to the ASMSU budget because they are no longer new and CPB worthy.

- 6 -

 Fund Drive 2011 Through Friends, Mericos Foundation gave a matching grant in FY2011 for $12,500 for new pledges. KGLT had the most successful Fund Drive in its history - $126,122 in pledges not including the matching grant. Of very special note, Mericos committed to $15,000 for 2012 Fund Drive (not yet received).

 Retirement of Phil Charles, General Manager of KGLT for 21 years Mr. Charles was replaced by Ellen King-Rodgers, a savings of $20,000 in salary. His responsibilities were divided by the existing staff. What was once a staff of five is now a staff of four.

 New Transmitter/Translator possibilities KGLT seeks transmitter/translator signal possibilities in towns that don’t have much radio, specifically free format alternative community radio.

 Continued focus on local programming to enhance community pride and partnership KGLT started Montana Medicine Show and Sonic IDs with support from CPB. Continued funding has been provided by Greater Montana Foundation and Humanities Montana. KGLT searches for more local support and continues to have a strengthening reciprocal relationship with Yellowstone Public Radio (part of the Montana University System, a CPB recipient also). The focus of local programming is to allow people to celebrate our idiosyncrasies and special talents, those diverse attributes that make us special and strong when we come together to deal with issues. “Montana Medicine Show” is two minute vignettes about little known, eccentric Montana history. Sonic IDs are sound snapshots of people doing what they love to do in life. In the works: a program called Rare Cuts - about great music and musicians local to each of the United States.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued our report dated December 23, 2011 on our consideration of KGLT-FM’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal controls over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audits.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American require that management’s discussion and analysis be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with evidence sufficient to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

- 15 - KGLT-FM A PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENTITY OPERATED BY THE BOARD OF REGENTS-MONTANA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2011 and 2010

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

1. Organization. KGLT-FM (the Station) is operated by the Montana University System, which is controlled by the Montana Board of Regents. The Station is a not-for-profit public radio station operating from the campus of Montana State University-Bozeman. Currently, KGLT serves the Bozeman area and parts of Montana which are within the KGLT reception area. The Station relies on grants, university support and public contributions.

The component unit described below is included in the Station’s reporting entity because of the significance of the operational and financial relationship with the Station.

2. Component Unit. The Friends of KGLT (Friends) raises funds to provide financial and other support to the Station. The support provided includes fund raising and positive community relations. The administration of Friends is provided by a Board of Directors that consisted of nine and eleven members for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In accordance with GASB No. 39, the financial statements of Friends of KGLT are being presented in this financial report as a component unit, not as consolidated organization. As a result, transactions between the two entities are not eliminated. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that transactions between the two entities be recorded as external transactions. As a result, transfers of funds from Friends to the Station are recorded as an expense on the financial statements of Friends and as revenue on the financial statements of the Station.

3. Financial Statement Presentation. The Station’s financial statements are presented in accordance with requirements of GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Government and GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. As the station does not have governmental fund types, GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions is not applicable. Under GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35, the Station is required to present a statement of net assets classified between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, a statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets, with separate presentation for operating and non-operating revenues and expenses, and a statement of cash flows using the direct method.

4. Basis of Accounting. For financial reporting purposes, the Station is considered a special program of the Associated Students of Montana State University (ASMSU) engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the Station’s financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred.

The Station applies all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, l989, unless FASB conflicts with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

5. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

6. Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash balances maintained in pooled funds with other University funds are considered cash equivalents. The University allocates cash balances to the Station from their funds invested in the Short Term Investment Pool (STIP) with the Montana Board of Investments. There are no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011 and 2010.

7. Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Customer account balances with invoices dated over 30 days are considered delinquent but are not subject to finance charges.

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at year end. Management has concluded that losses on balances outstanding at year end will be immaterial and, accordingly, no allowance for uncollectible accounts is considered necessary.

8. Capital Assets. Capital assets with a cost, or donated assets with an estimated fair market value on the date of receipt, of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life of more than one year are capitalized. As of July 1, 2010, intangible assets with a cost, or donated assets with an estimated fair market value on the date of receipt, of $100,000 or more and an estimated useful life of more than one year are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 25 years for equipment. Depreciation is reported as a management and general expense in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets.

9. Other Intangible Assets. The Station purchased a broadcasting license in 2010, which is being reported at cost. Pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be fully recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying value to undiscounted cash flows expected for be generated by the assets. If impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is then charged as a non-operating charge to the statement of operations. No impairment indicators existed in fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued . 10. Compensated Absences. Employees’ compensated absences are accrued when earned. The obligation and expenditure incurred during the year are recorded as accrued compensated absences in the statements of net assets and as a component of management and general in the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets. As of December 31 of each year, employees can accumulate vacation leave up to twice the number of leave days earned annually and sick leave can be accumulated without limitation. Upon termination, the employee is paid the accumulated vacation leave and 25% of the accumulated sick leave. Amounts recorded as accrued compensated absences include employer benefits.

11. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). During the year ended June 30, 2008, the University adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The University allows retirees to participate in the Montana University System’s self-funded health insurance plan by paying an amount considered by the University to cover their full costs (as calculated using the pooled risk of retirees and active employees). The state has not mandated funding the liability. See note E.

12. Net Assets. The Station’s net assets are classified as follows:

Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: This represents the Station’s total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt. The Station had no outstanding debt for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Restricted assets: The component of net assets that reports the constraints placed on the use of net assets by either external parties or enabling legislation. The Station had no restricted assets for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Unrestricted assets: The difference between the assets and liabilities that is not reported in invested in capital assets, net of related debt and restricted assets.

It is the Station’s policy to expend restricted resources first and to use unrestricted resources when the restricted resources have been depleted.

13. Classification of Activities. The station has classified their revenues as either operating or non-operating.

Operating revenues: Operating revenues generally result from donations from the general public, underwriting of broadcast programs and instructional technology services. Operating revenues include (1) operating grants from Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), (2) contributions from the annual fund drive, (3) in-kind contributions, (4) indirect support from the Montana University System (5) support from ASMSU, and (6) underwriting.

Non-operating revenues: Grants and contributions received by Friends are recorded as non-operating revenues.

14. Program Underwriting. Revenue for program underwriting is recorded on a pro-rata basis for the period covered. Revenue related to subsequent years is reflected as deferred revenue in the accompanying statements of net assets.

15. Community Service Grants. The CPB is a private, nonprofit grant-making organization responsible for funding more than 1,000 television and radio stations. CPB distributes annual Community Service Grants (CSGs) to qualifying public telecommunications entities. CSGs are used to augment the financial resources of public broadcasting stations and thereby to enhance the quality of public broadcasting services. Each CSG may be expended over one or two federal fiscal years as described in the Communications Act, 47 United States Code Annotated Section 396(k)(7), (1983) Supplement. In any event, each grant must be expended within two years of the initial grant authorization.

The grants received by the station are broken out into a restricted and unrestricted portion based on a percentage identified by CPB. The unrestricted portion of the grants may be used at the discretion of the recipients. The station uses these funds primarily for purposes relating to production and programming. Also, the grants may be used to sustain activities initiated with CSGs awarded in prior years.

Certain general provisions must be satisfied in connection with application for and use of the grants to maintain eligibility and meet compliance requirements. These general provisions pertain to the use of grant funds, record keeping, audits, financial reporting, mailing lists and licensee status with the Federal Communications Commission. The grants were reported on the accompanying financial statements as unrestricted operating revenues.

16. Donated Facilities, Materials and Services. Donated facilities from the ASMSU consist of office and studio space together with related occupancy costs and are recorded as revenue and expense at estimated fair rental values in the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets. These expenses are recorded as indirect support. Montana State University pays pension contributions and other employee benefits from a benefit cost pool on behalf of some of the Station employees. These expenses are allocated to the Station as direct support.

Donated personal services are recognized if the services received (1) create or enhance long-lived assets or (2) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. No donated personal services were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

17. Pledges Receivable. Pledges receivable are monies received from the Station’s annual fund drive. As required by ASC 958, the Station records pledges receivable at their fair value and discounts pledges to their net present value based on current market interest rates and the expected payment schedule set out by the donor. Subsequent changes to the discount on pledges are recognized as income either restricted or unrestricted as appropriate. At the current time there are no pledges receivable that are greater than one year and management believes all pledges receivable are collectible.

19. Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $2,100 and $3,300 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

20. Tax Status. As a state institution of higher education, the income of the Station is exempt from federal and state income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 115. However, income generated from activities not related to the exempt purpose would be subject to income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 511(a)(2)(B).

Friends is a not-for-profit corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and is classified as other than a private foundation.

21. Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2010 financial statements to conform them to the classifications used in 2011. .

NOTE D – PENSION PLANS

The Station’s employees are covered under the Montana Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) or the Optional Retirement Program (ORP). The PERS plan is a multiple-employer, cost-sharing defined benefit retirement plan. Only faculty and staff with contracts under the authority of the Board of Regents may elect the ORP.

Following is a schedule of required contributions to the plan:

2011 2010 PERS ORP PERS ORP

Employer contributions$ 8,431 $ 858 $ 9,050 $ 987

The above funding policies provide for periodic employer and employee contributions at rates specified by State law. Contribution requirements are actuarially determined. An actuary determines the actuarial implications of the funding requirements in a biennial actuarial evaluation. The actuarial method used to determine the implications of the statutory funding level is the entry age normal funding method, with both normal cost and amortization of the unfunded accrued liability determined as a level percentage of payrolls. To maintain the fund on an actuarially sound basis, the rate of contributions should fund the normal cost in addition to amortizing the unfunded liability over a period of forty years. Each system functions uniquely and is described as follows:

Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS)

This system was established in 1945 and is governed by Title 19, Chapter 3, MCA, as a cost-sharing multi- employer defined benefit pension plan providing retirement services to substantially all public employees. Effective July 1, 2002, eligible new employees of the University are defaulted into the PERS defined benefit plan and have one year from their date of hire to elect whether to stay in the PERS defined benefit plan, enroll in the ORP plan, or enroll in the PERS Defined Contribution Plan. Benefit eligibility is age 60 with at least 5 years of service, age 65 regardless of service, or 30 years of service regardless of age. Actuarially reduced benefits may be taken with 25 years of service or at age 50 with at least 5 years of service.

NOTE D – PENSION PLANS, continued

Monthly retirement benefits are determined by multiplying 1/56 by the number of years of service by the final average salary, unless the employee has 25 or more years of service, in which case the multiplier is 1/50. The required contribution rates for active participants and employers are statutorily determined (MCA §19-3-315 and MCA §19-3-316). Members’ rights become vested after 5 years of service. Additional information or a separate financial statement can be obtained from the State of Montana, Department of Administration, Public Employees' Retirement Administration, P.O. Box 200131, Helena, MT 59620-0131.

Optional Retirement Program (ORP)

ORP commenced in January 1988, and is underwritten by the Teachers' Insurance and Annuity Association- College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF). Effective July 1, 1993, ORP was made the mandatory retirement plan for new faculty and administrative staff. The ORP is a defined contribution plan, established under authority of Title 19, Chapter 21, MCA. Benefits at retirement depend upon the amount of investment gains and losses and the employee's life expectancy at retirement. Under the ORP, each employee enters into an individual contract with TIAA-CREF. The University records employee/employer contributions, and remits monies to TIAA-CREF. Combined contributions cannot exceed 13% of the participants compensation (MCA §19-21-203). Individuals are immediately vested with contributions. Annual reports that include financial statements and required supplemental information on the plan are available from TIAA-CREF, 730 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017-3206, Phone 1-800-842-2733.

NOTE E – OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)

Retirees who are eligible to receive retirement benefits from Teachers Retirement System (TRS) of the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) at the time employment ceases may participate in the health insurance plan. Retirees who are in the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) (through TIAA-CREF) or any other defined contribution plan associated with the Montana University System must have worked five or more years and be age 50, or have worked 25 years with the Montana University System to be eligible for retiree insurance benefits.

Post employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB 45. For the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, KGLT-FM’s annual actuarial OPEB cost (expense) for retiree health benefits was $14,597 and $12,775, respectively.

NOTE F - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A volunteer disc jockey is a family member of a granting organization. During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Friends received grants from this granting organization in the amounts of $12,500 and $10,000, respectively.

NOTE H – DEFERRED REVENUE

Cash advances received through community service grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are recorded as deferred revenue when received and revenues are recognized when expenditures of the grant funds are incurred.

NOTE I – CONCENTRATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Station operates its programs with aid of funding primarily from (1) CPB CSG grants, (2) support from the Montana University System, (3) public contributions and (4) underwriting. A major reduction in the level of support from any of these funding sources could have a negative impact on the Station’s ability to maintain its current programs.

The Station must use its CSGs within a two year grant period. Any unexpended funds must be returned to CPB. Although it is a possibility that the funds could not be spent within the grant period, the management of the Station deems the contingency remote.

NOTE J – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has performed an analysis of the activities and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2011 to determine the need for any adjustments to and/or disclosure within the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011. This analysis has been performed through December 23, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no material events that were required to be incorporated and disclosed in these financial statements.

Concluded - 24 -

Underwriting Contracts In accordance with CPB guidelines, transactions related to underwriting without the appropriate supporting documentation, may be disallowed. We strongly recommend that management establish controls and implement policies to ensure that proper support is obtained and maintained at the time when underwriting is recognized.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether KGLT-FM’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, non-compliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of non-compliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

This report is intended for the information of the Board of Regents and management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties.
